Richard
Hill Music

Welcome
to the official website of contemporary British composer Richard Hill.

Richard's
compositions, ranging from full symphonic works to chamber pieces for
brass quintet, are inspired by his broad experience in many musical
genres and his love both of the natural world and of Jungian psychology.

From
the richly exuberant and exciting 'Symphony of
Jazz' repertoire, via the magical orchestral ballet suite 'Images
from Kubla Khan', to the dreamlike atmospheric electronic score
and beautifully surrealistic songs of the music drama 'The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner', both inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Richard's cross-art projects reveal a deep instinctive awareness of
poetry, jazz, drama and film.

The
orchestral recording of 'Images from Kubla Khan', conducted by the composer
and narrated by Ben Kingsley, attracted wonderful reviews
on its release in the USA. It is now available from Amazon

You
may also like to check out Richardís new performance album 'Baroque
Sounds' on which he demonstrates the power of the music synthesizer
in creating musically sensitive interpretations of a selection of baroque
gems by J S Bach, Giovanni Gabrieli and others. 'Baroque Sounds' is
also available from Amazon

Visually
stimulating and imbued with a powerful and sure feeling for the sound
palette that is orchestration, Richard's music is at once approachable
and wonderfully imaginative - contemporary, yet evolving from a rich
and cosmopolitan orchestral heritage.
